Lyrics
A little silence
For the mourning of the deaths
Of a million children’s innocence
And it’s required
That you feel no regret
For the lives you took away
Let’s take a minute
And acknowledge
The delicate flower of ignorance
And then we’ll wonder
As the bodies fall
And then I suppose we’ll pray
It all comes down
It all comes down
There’s a letter
And it tells me
Who the perpetrators of all the evils are
And I can tell you
In a minute
I’m going to write a check
But if you wonder
About the wisdom
Of the men they beam back from the stars
Though they’re unchosen
They will chart courses
On a ship already wrecked
It all comes down
It all comes down
It all comes down
It all comes down
It’s a mind game in a mind frame
That’s like a minefield that does not decide
Who to set free from a set theme
Of lazzais-faire responsibility
It’s a safe game if it’s homemade
Even if the home is someone else’s
But you never tried and when he died
You let them call you selfless
Cause there is danger
There are monsters everywhere
And I’m told they prey on the innocent
It’s an epidemic
And it doesn’t seem fair
That you should have to fight them off
There must be someone
In an office at a desk
Who can sign in some ethereal cure
But you must know that
It doesn’t matter
Because it’s no longer so clear what’s pure
It all comes down
It all comes down
It all comes down
It all comes down
It’s a mind game
For the mourning of the deaths
Of a million children’s innocence
And it’s required
That you feel no regret
For the lives you took away
Let’s take a minute
And acknowledge
The delicate flower of ignorance
And then we’ll wonder
As the bodies fall
And then I suppose we’ll pray
It all comes down
It all comes down
There’s a letter
And it tells me
Who the perpetrators of all the evils are
And I can tell you
In a minute
I’m going to write a check
But if you wonder
About the wisdom
Of the men they beam back from the stars
Though they’re unchosen
They will chart courses
On a ship already wrecked
It all comes down
It all comes down
It all comes down
It all comes down
It’s a mind game in a mind frame
That’s like a minefield that does not decide
Who to set free from a set theme
Of lazzais-faire responsibility
It’s a safe game if it’s homemade
Even if the home is someone else’s
But you never tried and when he died
You let them call you selfless
Cause there is danger
There are monsters everywhere
And I’m told they prey on the innocent
It’s an epidemic
And it doesn’t seem fair
That you should have to fight them off
There must be someone
In an office at a desk
Who can sign in some ethereal cure
But you must know that
It doesn’t matter
Because it’s no longer so clear what’s pure
It all comes down
It all comes down
It all comes down
It all comes down
It’s a mind game
Pretty smooth. Nice vocals to match your backup music. I really liked the
chorus mainly, the break from the strumming to a more intense playing.
Good job.
